In the mooring systems market by application, FPSO occupies the lions share and TLP is expected to grow at the highest pace.

The applications market is subsegmented into FPSO’s, TLP, SPAR, semi-submersible, and the upcoming technologies such as FLNGs. The application FPSO occupies the major share of the market and the TLP is estimated to see high growth rate during the forecast period. The harsh, rigid, and hurricane prone area in the Gulf of Mexico makes TLP a popular choice for the installation on the tension leg platforms. Furthermore, the world’s first FLNG, which is expected to enter the market in 2016 would drive the market for mooring systems, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region.

On the basis of mooring types the following are the subsegments namely single point mooring, spread mooring systems, tendon mooring, and dynamic positioning. Out of the mentioned, single point mooring occupies the major share, which is due to the applications in the FPSO’s. Single point mooring allow the vessels to weathervane and are capable of utilization in the mild to extreme offshore conditions. Dynamic positioning is utilized in semi-submersibles and FPSOs, but is comparatively in their nascent stage of developments.

Asia-Pacific is estimated to be the global leader in the mooring systems market by value for the next five years.

Recent discoveries of oil & gas in the offshore basins in Australia, Gulf of Thailand, and South China Sea and high demand from China and India are expected to drive the exploration and production activities in the region, thereby pushing the mooring systems in this region. Asia-Pacific is among the largest consumers of oil & gas following North America. This demand will lead to more exploration and production in the region. However, Africa is estimated to attract more investments due to liberal regulatory policies and is expected to witness the highest growth.
